Chasing Sunsets

by Tess St. John, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

Six months ago, Zack's life fell apart. When he gets a call to be on the reality show Chasing Sunsets, he jumps at the chance. Staring at the curtain separating him from his partner, he hopes to win the prize money. At the very least, the race will provide a distraction and take his mind off his wife, off his life, and off all that's happened.

Nothing will ease Sadie's memories or give her back everything she's lost. But if she and the person on the other side of the drape are successful and win this competition, at least the prize money will pay off her debts.

When the curtain falls, Zack and Sadie are face to face. In an unexpected twist on the norm, instead of competing with a complete stranger, all the couples this season are separated. They agree to participate, while refusing to explain why they split up. Will ten days racing around Texas together be long enough for them to repair their marriage, mend their broken hearts, and forgive the impossible decisions that were made?

Chasing Sunsets is Book 1 in the Chasing Series. All the books in the series stand alone, but might be more enjoyable read in sequence.

About the author

I’m not your “normal” writer. I didn’t aspire from a young age to become a writer. My last day of high school, my English teacher said, “There is a book in each of you. Whether it’s a how-to, non-fiction, fiction—find that book.” I thought, right.

My hubby reads a lot, so I began to pick up the books he’d buy—mysteries and thrillers. But he traveled, so I only read while he was in town…too scared to sleep by myself. LOL. Years later, hubby and I planned a trip to an amusement park with the kids, and since I can’t ride roller coasters anymore, I went to B&N and picked up a book. A romance. I read all day and stayed up most of the night to finish the book. After that, I read every romance I could find.

I’d always kept my teacher’s words in the back of my mind, “There is a book in you,” and sat down one day to write a scene that kept playing in my mind. The floodgates on my imagination opened and before I knew what a critique partner was, I’d written four books (I use the word “written” very loosely, they needed a tremendous amount of work).

I never planned it, never dreamed about it, never expected to get such joy from it, but writing has become a vital part of my life.

Being the youngest of five children (my hubby the youngest of seven), much of my writing centers around family and relationships. I thank my parents for their example of how to live a life of love and happiness. And I thank my siblings, in-laws, nephews, nieces, and friends for their constant support and encouragement.

I live near Houston, Texas, with my real-life hero husband (the man is my inspiration each and every day) and our two children—who fill my heart to overflowing. I am blessed beyond belief and tickled to be able to write the stories of my heart.
